After Surat, Vietnamese EV Maker VinFast Opens New Showroom in Chennai

VinFast, the Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer, has inaugurated its second showroom in India, this time in the bustling Teynampet area of Chennai, as per news reports. Following its debut showroom in Surat just a week earlier, the new facility underlines the company's expanding retail footprint across the country. 

With India being the first market to receive right-hand drive versions of its vehicles, VinFast is reinforcing its commitment to the region's evolving EV ecosystem.

Largest Showroom with Strategic Roll-out

Spanning 4,700 sq. ft, the Chennai outlet is VinFast’s largest showroom planned among the 35 scheduled to open across India. Promoted by Maansarovar Motors, a trusted name in Chennai’s auto retail landscape, the facility will showcase the premium VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUVs. 

As per the reports, Pre-bookings for both models began on July 15, 2025, with a fully refundable booking amount of ₹21,000. These vehicles will be locally assembled at VinFast’s facility in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. India is also the first market where VinFast is launching the right-hand drive versions of these EVs, tailored to local driving conditions.
